Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][D]
[G][Bb][D]
[G]There's a

[Verse 1]
crazy superstition
that's got to do with chicken,
[C]and a thi[D]ng they call a wishbone.
You learned it from your mother,
you told it with your lover,
and tried to get a piece out [G]along.
Well, you reach under the table
as far as you're able
[D]And [G]tell your little fingers, [C]be strong
Be care[D]ful how you take it,
cause it's the way you break it
It gets you what you're wishin' [G]on[C]
[G]Wishbone, wishbone
[D]I got a wish to make,
one pull is all it takes
I need a lucky break, so come [Eb]on
[D]Long wish long
[G][Gm]

[Verse 2]
[D]
[G]Old[Gm] Reverend Hopper
[G]had a lovely daughter

[Verse 3]
One [D]night they came over [A]at her [D]last

[Verse 4]
[D]Man, she was a winner

[Verse 5]
When [D]we sat down for dinner

[Verse 6]
I was [D]eatin' that chicken up [G]fast

[Verse 7]
Well, [G]I was diggin' in

[Verse 8]
Well, before [Gm]I said amen

[Verse 9]
You [Gm]couldn't tell that hen [G]had [C]flown
[D]Mama called on to me, she said,
why don't you and Lucy go on,
pull a wish[G]bone[C]
Wish[G]bone, wishbone
I [D]got a wish to make
and one pull is all it takes
and I need a lucky break
so come [Eb]on, [D]wishbone[G]
[C]Lucy got the short piece
and [G]I got the long
But [A]we both got what we
were [D]wishin' [C]on
Wish[G]bone, wishbone
I [D]got a wish to make
and one pull is all it takes
And I need a lucky break,
so come [Eb]on, [D]wish[G]bone
[C]Oh, wishbone, [G]wishbone
I [D]got a wish to make it,
one pull is all it takes
And I need a lucky break,
so come [Eb]on, [D]wish[G]bone
Come on, [D]baby[G]
[G]You
